Meanwhile, 5ive member Abz Love could also be worth a flutter, having been installed as the third favourite at 5-1 – as could Corrie couple Bruce Jones and Vicky Entwistle, who have odds of 6-1 and 8-1 respectively.

At the other end of the scale the bookies do not appear to be holding out much hope for Courtney Stodden, Danielle Marr or Lauren Harries.

And child prodigy turned post-op transexual Harries could be in with even less of a chance, having been named the least likely to win at 20-1.

Harries was one of three housemates – along with Spence and Sophie Anderton – who entered into the secret ‘temple of celebrity’ shortly after arriving.

However, her oddly fixed expression as she observed the behaviour of the other new arrivals left viewers bemused, with one saying on Twitter: ’I think that Lauren Harries has died live on tv. It ain’t moved or spoken for an hour.’

Crosby, meanwhile, made her mark early by admitting she was desperate for the toilet – and nervous about going into the house.

‘I’m so scared, I feel like I’m going to p**s myself,’ she told host Emma Willis before beating a hasty retreat to the bathroom once she had gone in.
